UNIT 14 ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Environmental pollution is the effect of undesirable changes in our surroundings that have harmful effects on plants, animals and human beings. A substance which causes pollution is known as a pollutant. ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION Tropospheric pollution occurs due to:
WATER POLLUTION Causes of water pollution:
SOIL POLLUTION Causes:
GREEN CHEMISTRY Green chemistry is a way of thinking and is about utilising the existing knowledge and principles of chemistry and other sciences to reduce the adverse impact on environment. Green chemistry is a production process that would bring about minimum pollution or deterioration to the environment. Green chemistry in day-to-day lives

UNIT 13 Hydrocarbons
HYDROCARBONS Compounds consisting of carbon and hydrogen only are known as hydrocarbons. ALKANES These are saturated open chain hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon single bond. Properties: Physical properties:
ALKENES Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one double bond. Isomerism: Alkenes show both structural and geometrical isomerism Properties: Physical properties:
ALKYNES Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms. Properties: Physical properties:
These hydrocarbons are also known as arenes. Most of these compounds possess a pleasant odour and hence called aromatic. Most of these compounds contain benzene ring. Benzene ring is highly unsaturated. Aromatic compounds containing benzene ring are known as benzenoids and those not containing a benzene ring are known as non-benzenoids. Physical properties
UNIT 12 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS 1. Acyclic or open chain compounds: These compounds are also called aliphatic compounds and consist of straight or branched chain. 2. Alicyclic or closed chain or ring compounds: These compounds contain carbon atoms joined in the form of a ring. ISOMERISM The phenomenon of existence of two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different properties is known as isomerism. Such compounds are called isomers. 1. Structural isomerism: When compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures, it is called structural isomerism. Types of structural isomerism are:

Atomic and ionic radii: The atomic and ionic radii of the alkaline earth metals are smaller than those of the corresponding alkali metals in the same periods. Ionization enthalpies: Alkaline earth metals have low ionization enthalpies due to fairly large size of the atoms. Hydration enthalpies: The hydration enthalpies of alkaline earth metals ions decrease with increase in ionic size down the group. Physical properties:

UNIT 8 REDOX REACTIONS
OXIDATION: Loss of electron(s) by any species REDUCTION: Gain of electron(s) by any species OXIDISING AGENT: Acceptor of electron(s) REDUCING AGENT: Donor of electron(s) REDOX REACTIONS A reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is called a redox reaction. OXIDATION NUMBER It denotes the oxidation state of an element in a compound ascertained according to a set of rules formulated on the basis that electron in a covalent bond belongs entirely to more electronegative element. TYPES OF REDOX REACTIONS 1. Combination reactions
UNIT 7 EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium is a state where the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation. The mixture of reactants and products in the equilibrium state is called an equilibrium mixture. When there is no change in the concentration s of either of the reactants or the products, the stage is called dynamic equilibrium. At dynamic equilibrium, the rates of forward and backward reaction become equal. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EQUILIBRIA INVOLVING PHYSICAL PROCESSES For physical processes, the following characteristics are common to the system at equilibrium:
LAW OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM At a given temperature, the product of concentrations of the reaction products raised to the respective stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation divided by the product of concentrations of the reactants raised to their individual stoichiometric coefficients has a constant value. This is known as the Law of chemical equilibrium or Equilibrium law. APPLICATIONS OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANNTS The important features of equilibrium constants are:
UNIT 6 THERMODYNAMICS
SYSTEM AND ITS SURROUNDINGS System: A system in thermodynamics refers to that part of universe in which observations are made. Surroundings: The surroundings include everything other than the system. TYPES OF SYSTEM 1. Open system
THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM The state of a thermodynamic system is described by its measurable or macroscopic (bulk) properties. The state can be described by quoting its pressure, volume, temperature, etc. Variables like these are called state variables or state functions because their values depend only on the state of the system and not on how it is reached. THE INTERNAL ENERGY AS A STATE FUNCTION The internal energy of a system may change due to heat passing in or out of the system, work done on or by the system, or if matter enters or leaves the system. ENTROPY Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. |
